Yeah I still love the Pebble, had the original one and now the Steel. But it's time to have something different, so Apple Watch it is.
I have been wearing that watch for couple years, I used to have a different watch before, but I do not have it anymore.
Thanks, I'm asking because a work mate of mine has been eyeing various Skagen watches for months. He just never pulled the trigger because he wasn't sure about quality and longevity.
This is all water under the bridge now, I guess, because he, too, ordered an Apple Watch...

Do you let the chronograph running all the time?

I've had this watch for about 3 years. Never felt the need for anything more expensive until now. I love the white, so in memory of this watch I purchased a white sport band separately for my new Apple watch. Going to try my best to keep it pristine...
Looks clean n pretty cool

Oh my god that's really your collection?
Amazing!
No mate, I went for the SS Milanese, but only because there appears to be more options for straps with the SS model. Maybe on the next Gen I will buy a space black one. Although I do like my current watch, so I will just decide to wear the apple watch or my current one depending on my clothes or how I feel/occasion.
Here's mine. Glad I got the 42mm SS cause I'm already so used to wearing the 44mm PAM on a daily basis.
I have in total 4 watches at the moment that I wear in random rotation. The apple watch will join this rotation. I will then have 5 that I wear in random order.
I think the change in functionality between having on the Apple Watch and the regular watches is going to be so disruptive that you won't be able to do this. If you only wear your Apple Watch on Mondays, then you can only do certain things with your watch on that day. Either the smartwatch features are something you will get used to using, in which case you will always want the Apple Watch on (setting aside dress up for special occasions). Or you won't find it useful, in which case the superior glace-ability of having an "always on" watch with the time will carry the day and the Apple Watch will fall out of the rotation. Remember, the Apple Watch is not a great "watch" because the screen is not on all the time and it needs to be charged daily.
But if the smart watch features are compelling and become part of your daily habits, than how do you go back to anything that isn't smart?
That is the $10 billion question isn't it?

Is that 111?
The cannon pin looks weird.

I hope what you are saying doesn't happen or that apple plans to come out with a design that can be worn simultaneously with traditional watches.
I would hate to be just wearing a gadget on my wrist all the time.
In fact, I even considered MICROSOFT Band because it would have let me wear another watch but in the end I couldn't buy a Microsoft hardware product.

Yes that's correct.
Perhaps it's because the minute hand is covering the rear of the second hand.
Citizen Eco-Drive Blue Angels.
I'm going to miss using this 24/7 but i think i'll survive
42mm SS Apple Watch on the way!
Mine is very similar. However I have not ordered an Apple Watch.
Absolutely true. Could be that I totally miss my smart watch. I will see.
Btw. My rotation frequency is much lower then per day. It's more once per month I change the watch.
The thing is that the style of my other watches is absolutely comparable to the apple watch. That's what is so great about it for me. Of course it looks different but e.g. Out of the 4 I have three with metal casing and black band. Like the apple watch with black band I ordered.
